republicans will all say ronald reagan and they will all be wrong because they no longer understand ronald reagan or themselves. no one will say one-term president george h.w. bush and everyone will be right about that. democrats will say bill clinton and they will be wrong. that leaves the last man standing, newt gingrich. i think that i can safely assume that none of you chose newt gingrich as the person who had the most lasting and influential on our politics and governing. and that is because the american media covers the presidency the way the british covers the monarchy. they pretend that we have a king, that nobody could possibly be more important than the president. the media simply refuses to comprehend how powerful congress is and how powerful the speaker of the house can be, something that the founding fathers discovered. why are republicans wrong when they say that reagan was such a great president? because nothing of reaganism survived his presidency. there is no reagan legacy. republicans lie to themselves and they try to lie to history about reagan being an anti-tax fanatic

you mentioned ronald reagan. ronald reagan did more than stop talking about jim write carter. he raised taxes 11 times. you are talking about cutting taxes in the small businessman 11 times, ronald reagan raised taxes. so what -- where do you use reagan and then come with this tax cut or kind of mantra over and over again as if reagan did not raise taxes when it was necessary? >> the first place, 1981, reagan passed what was at that time by a big margin the largest tax cut in american history. remember, when reagan was sworn into office the top marginal rate was 70%. so the tax cuts reagan put in by time he left office and at the top rate was 39%. so those -- huge drop in tax rates. and all of small taxes increases you are talking about were tiny compared to the 1918 tax cut. in that sense, it is fair to say reagan was committed to a supply side approach of lower taxes and more job creation. >> but he raised the taxes 11 times mr. speaker. that's a fact. >> most of those were very small tax increases. let me give you an example. i was in atlanta yesterday. and i was out at the

but in some ways ronald reagan was a bigger part of that story than we would've just because we first meet him in 1947, long before his president and as we dug deeper and deeper into reagan's relations with the club, we learned he actually has seen ascii art when he was living in des moines and had gone to a truman fundraiser in kansas city when you were so a democrat. and let them be taken under the wing of eight when he was beginning his political career as a republican. another struck by how his relationship answer coming up the driveway here and we saw over and over again all the presidents, which is a reminder that every person who served as commander-in-chief sees himself as part of a bigger club. i just want to advance the picture here. this is a picture on the cover of time two or three weeks ago, never published before and so we were thrilled to put on the cover because it takes you into the modern club that really began a long time before george w. bush, barack obama and bill clinton were there to pick up the torch and in fact it begins in, what year would you say? >> well,
